He has the best producer (Dr Dre) and rap style ever....a gangsta rap classic. Not for children or the easily offended.

What more can I say than some classic Snoop Dizzy! One of the best hip-hop albums from 93'. There's no way he could top it.

This cd is pretty awesome! I am glad that I decided to buy it. It is a great addition to any cd collection, especially for someone who enjoys rap! It is better than I expected and pretty funny. I decided to buy it because it had good reviews on Amazon. Overall, it is a good deal and I recommend it!

INNOVATED. THE DOGG FATHER AT HIS BEST.
THIS ALBUM IS WORTH 10X WHAT THE RETAIL PRICE MAY BR.
WHEN THIS CAME OUT IT SHUT THE MUSIC GAME DOWN.
THE ORIRIGNAL DOGG FATHER.
DPG !!!!

Let's get one thing straight: This album is great because it was in the right place and the right time. That time is now gone, which makes all subsequent efforts all the more tragic. Another thing, if you want to boil Snoop down into one song, it's a track that doesn't appear on this CD, or even a Dre album. It's called "Deep Cover," and was made for the movie of the same name.

Dre's first album, THE CHRONIC, brought gangsta rap into a golden age (as well as its last). It was the most polished at the time, and DOGGYSTYLE stood right at that age's highest point. Death Row, at this time, eclipsed everything, truly controlling the image of what was good about commercial rap -- and I think it was also the engine of destruction for gangsta rap. Artists had trouble reconciling their true selves with the personas they created on wax. They lived vicariously through their own creations, dismissing the notion of repercussion. Everyone was yanked from this delusion, sobered by the deaths of Tupac Shakur and Christopher Wallace.

But, DOGGYSTYLE is still a grand celebration of that life. As long as you realize there's music and there's the real world, Snoop supremely entertains. His lyrics are simple but immminently quotable. Dre's production is slick, and it's got a lot going for it. It will never be repeated, as others have said, because the times are different. Snoop's different -- oh, how he's sold out for th'paper. Now, I'm not saying Snoop is a sell-out, or that he didn't actually live a hard, urban life (if that's the case). I'm not saying Snoop is a madman -- no, that was Tupac. I think Snoop had the cred to talk about gangsta life way back when.

It's a fantastic album about a terrible lifestyle.
